Kindle Unlimited

I'm considering getting Kindle Unlimited, I can do a 30 day trial to see what it's like but I was just wondering if anyone here has it and if they think it's worth it?

Looking at my wish list, I've only found one e-book so far that I could read on it, which to me means it wouldn't be.

However, I am currently spending way more than that a month buying books/e-books as I'm going through a reading phase at the moment.

You'll get a fair selection of the most well known works of literature from many genres. I signed up for it for a trial run and I didn't find as much as I wanted to, as I was hoping to acquire modern literature.

Kindle Unlimited doesn't offer many new books for grabs - you'll have to look for older or more popular fiction for the time being. Having said that, the list of books available on kindle unlimited is slowly increasing. I would suggest that you wait and see what is added to its range in the coming months.

Sounds kind of limiting to me

Our public libraries have E-books to borrow.

How does that work?

I have the Kindle app on my Android.

I have a library card/membership

I log into the library website find a book and tag it as wanting to borrow it as ebook.
They have a limited number of e-books per title to loan, so there may be a waiting list for the more popular ones. And not all titles are available in e-format.

The library site links me to OverDrive - a 3rd party intermediary - from which I can select the e-format.
Select Kindle, and authenticate to Amazon and tell Amazon which device I want the book to download too.

The e-book expires/disappears in two weeks, or I can renew it once or twice.

It's a little clumsy, but it works.


...btw - I use Kindle as white letters on black background -People look at me odd when I mention that, but it's MUCH easier on the eyes when reading at night.


They also have music and movies - haven't tried that yet - but I think those too are brokered by OverDrive.


This electronical stuff is pretty amazing!
